[VERSE]
James Dean died 'neath the [G]tree of hea[D]ven
Near the old Jack [A]Ranch Ca[D]fé
Brother Donald [G]Turnup[D]speed
Must have looked the [A]wrong old [D]way
[VERSE]
Oh, that [G]German car was [D]burning
As the hawks took [A]to the [D]air
Forty miles from [G]Paso [D]Robles
In a land called, '[A]Way Out [D]There'
[CHORUS]
In a land called, '[G]Way out [D]there', my brothers
In a land called, '[A]Way Out [D]There'
Forty miles from [G]Paso [D]Robles

Come look outside my [G]window, ma[D]ma
Something wicked [A]this way [D]comes
The carnival is [G]breaking [D]ground
With its rousta[A]bouts and [D]bums
[VERSE]
And the [G]hoochie koochie [D]dancing girls
With sawdust [A]in their [D]hair
And the band played John [G]Phillip Sou[D]sa
In a land called, '[A]Way Out [D]There'
[CHORUS]
In a land called, '[G]Way out [D]there', my brothers
In a land called, '[A]Way Out [D]There'

[VERSE]
Oh, all we've learned about [G]love and vio[D]lence
Comes from bibles and [A]movie maga[D]zines
But what goes down in the [G]trenches, ba[D]by
It's like nothing you've [A]ever [D]seen
[VERSE]
[G]People tearing peo[D]ple up
Good god, it [A]makes me [D]scared
Heaven take me be[G]yond all [D]this
To a land called, '[A]Way Up [D]There'
